.Atom and other processors,

Is that confirmed for others... or will it just be for the Intel chips..

ive tried it and its nice but interfaces is something that i feeol is a questioun of taste and i hate all the defaults on my desktoips because I like it the way I like it,not the way someone says i should like it.

Android sounds more promising because of the phone tie ins.

but more choice is good so rock on Moblin2.

interfaces are nice but im interested in Intels competition, the ARM and MIPS based netbooks which would lower the prices of netbooks.

I wonder what footprint the OS has? Could you get away with a 16GB SSD? I'm sure you could, but how much of that would be used?

I'm a big fan of Android (and the upcoming Chrome OS), but I think it will also be great to have Moblin and/or Moblin derivatives running on netbooks.

Competition breeds innovation!

Just look at how exciting OS & web browser technology has become, in the last couple of years!
